Speaker 1: And man, what a Schwitzerama, It is unbelievable. Come back
Speaker 1: to the house and I am dripping, not that you care,
Speaker 1: but it's I don't even know why I mentioned that.
Speaker 1: I guess just to congratulate myself. All right, let me
Speaker 1: see everybody had a decent weekend, and I hope I
Speaker 1: don't care, so.
Speaker 2: I won't even ask. And you did not work at
Speaker 2: so far this weekend?
Speaker 5: No, I did not.
Speaker 2: And then it starts going like crazy.
Speaker 5: Preseason football next weekend?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Does it all starts next weekend?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough? All right, guys, you're ready to do it?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yay, all right, let's get the excitement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you ready to do it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're fine, okay, damn yeah yeah Monday, Okay, we
Speaker 1: rev up.
Speaker 2: Period.
Speaker 1: Is it's time for handle on the news with Amy
Speaker 1: Neil and me lead story?
Speaker 3: Is that fine?
Speaker 1: Well, the search for running mate for Kamala Harris is
Speaker 1: going balls to the wall.
Speaker 2: And she's already chosen. I mean you know that at
Speaker 2: this point she has and she is going.
Speaker 1: To well today, maybe she is going to announce, certainly
Speaker 1: by tomorrow, and the three final contenders, Governor Tim Waltz
Speaker 1: of Walls of Minnesota, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Senator
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly of Arizona, A couple of interesting things. I
Speaker 1: find Josh Shapiro the most interesting one of all, and
Speaker 1: i'll tell you why.
Speaker 3: First of all, he's an observant.
Speaker 1: Jew okay, and being of the Hebraic persuasion myself, I
Speaker 1: tend to look at him a little closer some real
Speaker 1: issues with him.
Speaker 2: He is too pro Israeli.
Speaker 1: And you've got on Kamala Harris's side the progressives that
Speaker 1: are not particularly pro Israeli. They are saying Israel should.
Speaker 2: Not be backed up as much as it should.
Speaker 1: And so you got the one who is sort of
Speaker 1: in the middle of it, Senator Mark Kelly, little conservative,
Speaker 1: but with the progressive wants. Progressive want is left wing,
Speaker 1: left wing, left wing, and just you know, that's it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna draw the line in the sand.
Speaker 2: So we'll see.
Speaker 1: If I had to guess right now, I would guess,
Speaker 1: you know, there's three of them. And if I had
Speaker 1: to guess one of them, I would guess that it's
Speaker 1: going to be either Tim Walls, Josh Shapiro, or Mark Kelly.
Speaker 5: Ah. The insight of Bill Handle.
Speaker 3: You're analysis, I mean amazing, and I are a gate
Speaker 3: with just this is what I do.
Speaker 2: This is what I do.
Speaker 3: You put the anal in analysis, sir, so well done.
Speaker 4: Yes, hitting a boiling point. Israel is bracing for a
Speaker 4: potential attack, a big one from Iran, and it's ally
Speaker 4: Hezbola because of the assassination of two senior militant leaders
Speaker 4: last week. One happened in Beirut, Lebanon, the other one
Speaker 4: in Tehran, Iran.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh.
Speaker 1: When we look back on this, I think the Netanyahu
Speaker 1: government is not going to be treated well in history.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at how crazy uh, the attack, especially
Speaker 1: of the Hamas leader in Tehran, right, an Israeli attack
Speaker 1: in Iran, and the guy who was considered a moderate,
Speaker 1: well relatively considered Marat, who is in the negotiations to
Speaker 1: establish the seat fire cease fire.
Speaker 2: Uh, it is. It is very tough.
Speaker 1: And the Palestinian question is going to be a big
Speaker 1: question in the election for sure. I mean and Uh,
Speaker 1: Tehran has said it will attack Israel directly, it will
Speaker 1: absolutely attack. And Israel is now bracing for a direct
Speaker 1: attack from uh, a direct talk from Iran. And the
Speaker 1: US has its fifth fleet now out in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 2: That's balls to the wall. And you may see that.
Speaker 1: Regional war explode, just explode, and I think a lot
Speaker 1: of it has to do with a super right wing
Speaker 1: Netanyahu government.
Speaker 2: Not good news.
Speaker 3: So what do you think the odds are of this
Speaker 3: becoming a regional war?
Speaker 2: I think are pretty high.
Speaker 1: Right now, that's what's happening in Hisbelah is We're the
Speaker 1: israel Is already fighting Hisbelah the northern border in between
Speaker 1: Israel and eleven nine in name only that it's not a war.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's skirmish, but it's skirmish's plus it just
Speaker 1: keeps on escalating and waiting for uh Iran to attack.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is not good news.
Speaker 1: And for some crazy reason, Netao who believes and the
Speaker 1: far right in Israel believes that Hamas will be destroyed,
Speaker 1: it will not. Hamas is going to survive. Hamas will
Speaker 1: be there. There is nothing to take its place. If
Speaker 1: Israel could theoretically take over it will I mean it could,
Speaker 1: you know, by moving all of its assets into Gaza,
Speaker 1: be occupying force.
Speaker 2: So what it is now going to be an Israeli
Speaker 2: government occupying market front?
Speaker 1: Right, Neil, you dropped out on me, bud Oh, All right,
Speaker 1: there's good news at least in the stock market.
Speaker 3: Right Oh, let me tell you there is an Olympic
Speaker 3: class diving going on in the stock market right now.
Speaker 3: You've got the US stock market. I'm going to have
Speaker 3: another rough day today. We'll find out six thirty our time.
Speaker 3: But their sense is those investors, they have a sense
Speaker 3: that it is going too sharply lower. But keep in mind,
Speaker 3: doubt futures are down eight hundred points. It's two percent futures,
Speaker 3: or the broader S and P five hundred are two
Speaker 3: point nine percent low. But when you even though that's bad,
Speaker 3: it's not a crash when you compare it to other
Speaker 3: points in history, like the pandemic. The early days of
Speaker 3: the pandemic, it fell about twelve point nine percent, and
Speaker 3: you had the broader S and P five hundred and
Speaker 3: fell twelve percent that day, second worst decline in history.
Speaker 3: So we're not even Black Monday. Back in nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: seven it fell like twenty two percent a little bit more,
Speaker 3: and SMP five hundred nos dived to twenty zero point
Speaker 3: three percent. So bad, but not historically crazy.
Speaker 2: But it'll be the third day in a row.
Speaker 1: I remember I bought my house for the Persian Palace,
Speaker 1: the place that I bought was on Black Monday, and
Speaker 1: we were actually it was on Tuesday and the stock
Speaker 1: market had collapsed, and I remember driving to the the courthouse.
Speaker 1: It was an auction of the place and.
Speaker 2: It was going to be empty. And at that point
Speaker 2: Marjorie says, Oh my god, we can't buy. The stock
Speaker 2: market is crashing. We don't have stock. Do you understand
Speaker 2: this is going to be the best thing for us.
Speaker 3: You didn't have any stock, not at that time.
Speaker 2: No, everything I had was in real estate at that time.
Speaker 3: Wait, what year did you buy the Persian Palace.
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty seven? I bought it October twentieth nine.
Speaker 1: Not the Persian Palace. I built the Persian Palace. This
Speaker 1: was the place I had in Hancock Park adjacent, not.
Speaker 3: Yeah Park Palace.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Man was in the nineties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was on Man's It was in Mansfield.
Speaker 3: I remember the one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was it.
Speaker 1: That was the one I bought on Black That was
Speaker 1: a duplex. It was it was a duplex.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was well.
Speaker 1: I remember the next day, man, it was everybody was
Speaker 1: wheeling wheeling. Good time to buy up past property by
Speaker 1: the way, So anyway, it was horrific and we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens today. Politically, this has some huge, huge impact
Speaker 1: because what's this going to do if the stock market,
Speaker 1: if the economy does fall. Remember the stock market is
Speaker 1: it's historic high.
Speaker 2: It can't go up consistently one hundred percent of the time.
Speaker 1: This gives ammunition, plenty of it to Donald Trump because well,
Speaker 1: here it is. It's the Biden Harris. You know it's there.
Speaker 1: Go you know it happened under Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 4: Here's a shocker. The Belgium triathlon team pulled out of
Speaker 4: Monday's planned mixed relay event in the Sen River because
Speaker 4: one of its athletes got sick. That athlete participated in
Speaker 4: the initial triathlon. The Swiss team I had to switch
Speaker 4: out some teammates because one of swimmers is also sick.
Speaker 4: And then it reports surfaced in Belgian media that USA
Speaker 4: Today couldn't confirm that the swimmer who is sick is
Speaker 4: hospitalized with ecoli.
Speaker 3: Ooh, well, we knew this was going to happen.
Speaker 2: We knew, we called it, we said it.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, this is certainly good news. US Customs and
Speaker 3: Border Protection officers in Arizona said that they made the
Speaker 3: single largest bust of fetanyl in the agency's history. After
Speaker 3: seizing four million with an M pills from a twenty
Speaker 3: year old man who was driving a pickup truck. He
Speaker 3: was hauling a sport you know, vehicle in the back.
Speaker 3: He's got this utility trailer and I guess the authorities
Speaker 3: were looking at and said they found some anomalies with
Speaker 3: the trailer frame, and the K nineteen came out found
Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty four packages of drugs hidden in
Speaker 3: the frame.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a question.
Speaker 1: I mean, we we all know that it just the
Speaker 1: tiniest little amount of fentanyl kills you.
Speaker 2: I mean this tiny little drop fentanyl pills.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming there is very small fentanyl in those pills.
Speaker 2: I mean, you think of it.
Speaker 1: These are pills of fentanyl, you know, the death pills
Speaker 1: that anybody would take them would die instantly. So I
Speaker 1: don't quite understand. I'm not an expert on fentanyl. I
Speaker 1: know fair amount about cocaine and pot and everything else
Speaker 1: that we all know about heroin, But fentanyl, I'm not
Speaker 1: really that. Uh don't have much expertise there. How does
Speaker 1: that work? And we should find that out. When you
Speaker 1: buy these fentanyl pills, is it just to get high
Speaker 1: on fentanyl, is it.
Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 3: Well, you got to imagine it's got filler like any
Speaker 3: other Yeah, yeah, I know, I know the amount of
Speaker 3: the active ingredient.
Speaker 2: Yeah course.
Speaker 1: I mean if it were if you're pure fentanyl, you'd
Speaker 1: be dead in ten seconds.
Speaker 3: But so are they cutting this or breaking it down?
Speaker 3: I don't know what these are pills.
Speaker 1: These are manufactured pills, you know, done by you know,
Speaker 1: on machinery on I assume modern pill making machinery.
Speaker 3: I wonder what the turnover is like in that factory.
Speaker 3: Yeah you didn't there's guys. Yeah, it drops. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyway, twenty million, that's four million pills.
Speaker 3: That's a lot of twenty year old guy.
Speaker 4: Debbie has arrived. We're talking about Hurricane Debbie who It
Speaker 4: was a tropical storm. It increased to hurricane strength in
Speaker 4: the Gulf of Mexico and then made landfall in Florida
Speaker 4: this morning with winds blowing eighty miles per hour. It's
Speaker 4: got high winds, higher gusts, and a storm surge. And
Speaker 4: then as it moves through Florida, it's expected to lose
Speaker 4: some of its gas, but still we'll pack quite the punch.
Speaker 4: Thirty inches of rain expected in some areas.
Speaker 2: Thirty inch of rain. I mean, what do you do
Speaker 2: with thirty inches of rain?
Speaker 1: And then what you're going to be, as I said
Speaker 1: when we opened the show, Amy, you are going to
Speaker 1: be reporting this morning it'll be a yard and a
Speaker 1: half of rain will be arriving.
Speaker 2: I mean it will be by wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Is that crazy?
Speaker 1: Do you remember when in southern California if there was
Speaker 1: half an inch of rain, that was big news.
Speaker 2: A half inch of rain at a time.
Speaker 3: You're measuring rain like we measure snow. Yeah, essentially at
Speaker 3: this point, all right, this is at the top of
Speaker 3: the WTF file. Robert F. Kennedy Junior, you know, the
Speaker 3: independent presidential candidate. He confessed yesterday that he left a
Speaker 3: dead bear cub in Central Park in Manton there in
Speaker 3: twenty fourteen because he thought it would be amusing, weird
Speaker 3: ass story. And he's coming out because he did an interview,
Speaker 3: I guess with the New Yorker and it's going to
Speaker 3: be coming out and he wanted to get ahead of
Speaker 3: the story. He said he was looking forward to seeing
Speaker 3: how they spin this one. But he told Roseanne Barr
Speaker 3: about the ordeal, and he explained that I guess somebody
Speaker 3: he was driving somebody hit a bear in Hudson Valley.
Speaker 3: He saw a woman in a van hit and kill
Speaker 3: the young bear. He pulled over, picked up the bear,
Speaker 3: put him in the back of his van because he
Speaker 3: says he was going to skin the bear. It was
Speaker 3: in good condition. He was going to put the meat
Speaker 3: and his refrigerator.
Speaker 1: All right, And I want to make a point here, Okay,
Speaker 1: I am sick and tired of these presidential candidates leaving
Speaker 1: dead bears in Central Park story.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: That's I'm up to hear with those.
Speaker 5: I won't add those stories anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, limit them to one a week maybe, But what.
Speaker 2: He's a fruitcake anyway. He is a complete fruitcake to
Speaker 2: begin with.
Speaker 3: Okay, you say that, But the more these stories come out,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I gotta have a drink with this guy.
Speaker 3: I like, I'm curious. I'm not gonna vote for him,
Speaker 3: but I'm curious about him because listen, is that horrible?
Speaker 3: I guess, And somebody is it funny? Yeah, he put
Speaker 3: it next to a bike to make it look like
Speaker 3: the bike. The bear where it's demented but I mean
Speaker 3: the bear was dead already. I don't know. It's just
Speaker 3: a weird ass story. And the guy and there's something
Speaker 3: dead behind his eyes when you look at him, there's
Speaker 3: something like he's not present. Whenever I see his.
Speaker 2: Dad of him, what his dad? That's a horrible all right,
Speaker 2: we're done.
Speaker 5: COVID has some staying power.
Speaker 4: California's summer COVID surge has been particularly strong and enduring.
Speaker 4: They're saying that the case numbers are about double what
Speaker 4: they were a month ago. The surge probably related to
Speaker 4: the ever more infectious sub variants. The ones going around
Speaker 4: now are the flirt variants, and Elizabeth Hudson, who's the
Speaker 4: regional chief of infectious Disease at Kaiser Permanente Southern California,
Speaker 4: says it's expected because they're getting weaker, which means they're
Speaker 4: getting more infectious, so the virus can survive.
Speaker 3: It's becoming endemic.
Speaker 2: Doctor Jim Kenney has told us about this.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be get the it's gonna be the flu, that's.
Speaker 2: What it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna get a flu shot every year, and
Speaker 1: it's going to be combined with the COVID shot and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one happy inoculation every year.
Speaker 3: You've had it, right handle I had?
Speaker 1: I think, Well, I don't know, because in those days
Speaker 1: we didn't know that it was COVID. I got it
Speaker 1: in December before we knew in February that it was COVID.
Speaker 3: Before it was.
Speaker 1: We knew, we knew there was something coming out, and
Speaker 1: I got it pretty early. I was sick as a dog.
Speaker 1: Whether it was COVID or not, I don't know. Since then,
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: I think I might have had it before my surgery. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, you don't know, because I had this weird thing,
Speaker 3: and that would have been in late November.
Speaker 1: Yeahcember, that's early days. That's early days have had it.
Speaker 1: March is where it really we realized it was COVID
Speaker 1: and it was differentiated and it was and people were
Speaker 1: dying at that point. I mean, I got pretty sick,
Speaker 1: but not everybody died, obviously, because a.
Speaker 3: Friend of mine has it now and she's miserable. She
Speaker 3: said it was pretty it's our third time, says, who
Speaker 3: is this a friend of mine?
Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah, two of my best friends haven't right now.
Speaker 3: Oh man, don't go around Amy, Luckily.
Speaker 5: They don't live here anymore. They're up in passa roab lists.
Speaker 3: M hm, well you travel all right, So you heard
Speaker 3: Amy talking about this on wake up call this morning.
Speaker 3: How crazy is that? Normally you gain pounds when you
Speaker 3: go to Orange County Fair. Someone became a millionaire by
Speaker 3: gaining moolah. Lucky person purchased a one million dollar Multiplier
Speaker 3: Craze Scratcher ticket at the California Lottery Live booth, which
Speaker 3: was operated by five Star Liquor from Westminster.
Speaker 2: Is that what hear?
Speaker 3: Amy?
Speaker 1: We never hear of million dollar winters, winners with Chris scratchers.
Speaker 5: No, that's that's pretty unusual.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we don't even hear a small zillion
Speaker 1: dollar winters. You know, we hear with billion and four
Speaker 1: hundred million. But when it's thirty four million dollars and
Speaker 1: it opens up at twenty six million dollars, someone's in it.
Speaker 2: Do you even do you even report that?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 4: We, but we not as much anymore because now we're
Speaker 4: getting those huge billion dollar dollars jackpots.
Speaker 5: But we do.
Speaker 3: We're getting under right, and you're not gonna go someone
Speaker 3: won five hundred thousand dollars with a scratcher.
Speaker 4: Well, we do fit's a local person and they matched
Speaker 4: like five of six, not with the scratchers, but with
Speaker 4: the lotto tickets. And then every once in a while you
Speaker 4: get a scratcher, that's a big payoff. We'll mention that
Speaker 4: like that one getting a first look at the killers.
Speaker 4: LAPD has released some security images of the people's suspected
Speaker 4: of shooting General Hospital actor Johnny Whacter. Remember it happened
Speaker 4: in downtown LA back on May twenty fifth. He had
Speaker 4: just gotten off a shift as a bartender and confronted
Speaker 4: three people who were trying to steal his catalytic converter.
Speaker 4: One of the guys pulled out a gun and shot him,
Speaker 4: killed him. The guy they're looking for has a tattoo
Speaker 4: above his left eye and on his right cheek, and
Speaker 4: police are also saying the getaway car was a stolen
Speaker 4: twenty eighteen black four door Infinity Q fifty with a
Speaker 4: tan interior, of course stolen, so chances of them still
Speaker 4: having it, who knows?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really I mean, just the horrific look.
Speaker 1: He sees things as being told and he goes over there,
Speaker 1: sees that it's they're going for his catalytic converter confronts
Speaker 1: them and they just point blank shooting. Also with this story,
Speaker 1: it just re emphasizes how fickle acting is. He's a
Speaker 1: star of General Hospital, a star twenty twenty to twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two, and he is a bartender.
Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that interesting that it's a fickle business.
Speaker 2: It's a fickle business.
Speaker 4: My favorite story is there was a guy and I
Speaker 4: don't remember the actor's name, but you'd probably recognize him,
Speaker 4: but he's been in a couple of movies and I
Speaker 4: saw him doing the what's it called Vita mix at
Speaker 4: the costco. He's doing vitamins demonstrations and he'd been in
Speaker 4: a series of movies and I was like, oh, my goodness. Yeah,
Speaker 4: how your fortunes turn around so quickly?
Speaker 2: Or or or waiting between parts?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean you even reasonably successful actor is there's going
Speaker 1: to be a lull uh and you're going out auditions
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe you want to do something and
Speaker 1: probably not, You're probably miserable.
Speaker 3: If you do. You recognize them and say something. Because
Speaker 3: I've been served by actors, fairly well known actors, working actors.
Speaker 3: I've been served by them. Do you mention Hey, I
Speaker 3: enjoy your work, or because I don't think, Hey, work
Speaker 3: is work?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, I've recognized you know someone now you
Speaker 1: know same thing.
Speaker 2: Service, Go hey, how's your career doing working out for you?
Speaker 5: Is that what you said?
Speaker 3: Of course people don't recognize your voice handle when you go.
Speaker 3: Do you want fries with that?
Speaker 2: Of course they hey, of course they do, all right.
Speaker 3: The Vatican has joined in on the chorus of what
Speaker 3: I'm going to call confusion. But they say that the
Speaker 3: drag queen's mocking Christianity and a parody of the Last Supper,
Speaker 3: as this is a really delayed reaction at the opening
Speaker 3: of the Paris Olympics, and so the Holy See, the
Speaker 3: governing body there, I guess the Vatican says that they
Speaker 3: were offended and that it was an attack on Christianity.
Speaker 3: Of course we know that that was not Jesus in
Speaker 3: the Last Supper, but it was a nod to Dionysus,
Speaker 3: who is an interesting cat unto himself, Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity,
Speaker 3: madness and wild frenzy. And I think they nailed.
Speaker 1: It fas still and from the beginning, though I correct
Speaker 1: you a little bit. I mean it's gaining let's say
Speaker 1: it's a snowball rolling in terms of the the anger
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 3: And also, but it wasn't Christ.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it could easily been interpreted to Christ.
Speaker 1: And then there was the story tells us about the
Speaker 1: pre recorded depiction of and I quote Randy Young clowns
Speaker 1: roaming the streets of Iris before initiating a MENAJATOI.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that one the Vatican has a problem with.
Speaker 1: How about those priests conforting with those eight year old
Speaker 1: boys running around.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're going to be upset with that.
Speaker 3: The reality is it is the hosting country trying to
Speaker 3: show their culture and beliefs. It's not about us. And
Speaker 3: as a Christian, you know, I pretty much know that
Speaker 3: people are going to come out and mock religion and
Speaker 3: faith of any kind except Muslims.
Speaker 2: But that's because you die if you do that.
Speaker 3: You said it, not me. I'm just saying that it's
Speaker 3: gonna happen. And if you ever saw a painting of Dionysus,
Speaker 3: you'd go, yep, that's the guy right there from the Olympics.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: US F sixteen's are taken to the skies over Ukraine
Speaker 4: President Zelenski has confirmed for the first time that the
Speaker 4: the F sixteen fighter jets are in his country. He's
Speaker 4: been trying to get them since the start of the war,
Speaker 4: like two years ago. They said that we need this
Speaker 4: to defend against Russian missiles. And now the F sixteens
Speaker 4: will be able to provide air cover for troops, attack
Speaker 4: ground targets, take on enemy planes, and intercept missiles. They're
Speaker 4: not saying how many they have, but apparently their pilots
Speaker 4: have been training, and he said that they are in
Speaker 4: the skies.
Speaker 5: Oh and he said, oh, and we need more.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: A couple of problems with the F sixteens is, first
Speaker 1: of all, they're obviously American made and they're American jet fighters,
Speaker 1: and Ukrainians have never had F sixteens. They've actually always
Speaker 1: had Russian planes. And these fighter pilots have been training
Speaker 1: for about six nine months.
Speaker 2: Takes three years to really know that airplane.
Speaker 1: So that is a huge disadvantage that they're going to have.
Speaker 1: And it is is it going to really tilt anything.
Speaker 1: It's not going to make that big an impact. More
Speaker 1: of a morale issue, and the Russians at this point
Speaker 1: are winning. I mean they are just grinding outland. It's
Speaker 1: just you know, by the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Speaker 3: It's fodder.
Speaker 2: And this is how Russia.
Speaker 1: Won World War Two, by the way, is it just
Speaker 1: eight up its fighting men, that's it by the millions.
Speaker 1: So you know, we'll see what happens on this one boy.
Speaker 1: Did Prutin guess wrong on this? And he keeps on
Speaker 1: doubling down, doubling down and doubling down. He thought he
Speaker 1: was going to take ke Evan three days.
Speaker 3: All right. Rioters are setting fire and they even broke
Speaker 3: into hotels used to shelter asylum seekers in northern England
Speaker 3: just yesterday, as the country is in this weird state
Speaker 3: of unrest. They haven't seen this kind of unrest in years.
Speaker 3: The violence was triggered by the stabbing of three young
Speaker 3: girls in Southport, Northwest England, earlier in the week. So
Speaker 3: far right, they say, are seizing on this, spreading a
Speaker 3: wave of what some called disinformation, saying false claims that
Speaker 3: the attacker was an immigrant.
Speaker 2: Who wasn't And he wasn't.
Speaker 3: No, it was born in Britain. Yeah, but anti Muslim answer.
Speaker 2: We don't even know if he was a Muslim or not.
Speaker 2: Has that information been released.
Speaker 3: No, But I think it's interesting that they say, police
Speaker 3: say the suspect was born in Britain, but they never
Speaker 3: ever refer to I mean, who cares?
Speaker 2: Well, No, it's a question of I tell you who cares.
Speaker 1: People that are looking at the right wing, whether they're
Speaker 1: just making it up, well, you know what, you're right,
Speaker 1: who cares?
Speaker 2: They're gonna do it anyway? Good peat.
Speaker 3: It's not about that. I mean, they were born, they're British.
Speaker 3: Who cares what they're faith?
Speaker 2: All right, We're done, guys.
